Alysa Lynn Powers

visits Santa and the North Pole

With love from,

Mom and Dad

2003

Of all the holidays in the year, Alysa Lynn Powers,
age 7, enjoyed Christmas the best. Everyone in San Angelo, Texas, was still busy preparing for the holiday
season. Alysa had already finished decorating
the tree and wrapping presents for Garrett, Tevin
and Jamie. That is why Alysa was selected
to have an exciting Christmas adventure.

One special
night Alysa was lying in bed thinking about
Christmas. Suddenly, she heard a voice
outside her window.

"Alysa,
please come to the North Pole with me. Santa Claus has a big problem
and only you can help." pleaded a reindeer."

In amazement
Alysa replied, "Wow! You must
be one of Santa's reindeer. Of course, I would be happy to go to the
North Pole to help Santa Claus."

So, Alysa
jumped into Santa's sleigh and off they flew through the beautiful
moonlit sky.

"Reindeer,
what are those buildings below us?" questioned Alysa.

"That's
the North Pole where Santa lives and makes toys for all the good children.
Hold on tight, we're landing!" replied the Reindeer.

Silently,
they glided to a stop near Santa's workshop.

"Let's
have a snack in Mrs. Claus' kitchen and then I'll show you around,"
said the Reindeer.

"Gee
whiz! The candy smells delicious," Alysa said with a smile.

Cheerfully,
Mrs. Claus remarked, "I make candies and cookies in every color of
the rainbow. Here is a special treat just for you, Alysa."

The Reindeer
said, "Santa knows which boys and girls have been good during the year
and the toy each child wants most for Christmas."

Alysa peeked into the next room and exclaimed, "I've never
seen so many pretty dolls and stuffed animals! I wish Garrett,
Tevin and Jamie could see this, too."

The Reindeer
said with confidence, "Santa's elves make every kind of toy you can
imagine."

The Reindeer
and Alysa left the doll room and hurried
along to visit Santa.

"Ho!
Ho! Ho!" welcomed Santa. "You arrived just in time. I need your
help, Alysa. Let me tell you about my problem.
My reindeer and sleigh are ready to deliver presents to all the good boys
and girls on Christmas Eve. But, I have been so busy that I did not do the
most important thing of all."

"What
is the most important thing of all, Santa?" Alysa asked eagerly.

"Santa
continued, "I haven't had time to make the special Christmas WISH.
This WISH puts love into people's hearts and makes my reindeer want to fly.
So, you see how important the WISH is. Would you please make the Christmas
WISH for everyone?" Santa pleaded.

Alysa promised Santa, "I will gladly make the WISH."

Then,
she remembered the nicest things about Christmas such as love, happiness
and kindness. Then ...POOF, out popped the WISH, glowing brightly like a
star.

Santa
said gratefully, "That was the perfect WISH Alysa. I'll put the WISH in this beautiful box for safe
keeping until Christmas Eve."

By the
bright moonlight, Santa waved good-bye and said, "Thanks to you, Alysa,
everyone will have a Merry Christmas. Hop aboard my sleigh and my reindeer
will fly you back to San Angelo, Texas."

As the
North Pole disappeared out of sight, Alysa thought, "I can't wait to tell Garrett, Tevin and Jamie about my wonderful Christmas
adventure."
